ISBN : 1-85631-007-8
Publisher : Rosters
Pages : 90
Summary : Minor football pools entries

Title : FOOTBALL POOLS AND HOW TO WIN
Author : Professor Frank George
Pages : 64
Summary : Several approaches to football results prediction
Comment : The 'prof' previously had these ideas published in the 'Scientific American'. Famous for his 'dyad' and 'triad' analyses, although even these are by no means original forecasting techniques. Unfortunately these particular methods seem to be of limited predictive value, but provide interesting reading.
